Seahawks' Jimmy Graham out for season with torn patellar tendon

The Seattle Seahawks will have to make their playoff push without their high-priced tight end.

Jimmy Graham is out for the season after suffering a torn patellar tendon during Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, coach Pete Carroll said.

"We're gonna miss the heck out of him for the rest of the season," Carroll said.

Graham had four catches for 75 yards before the injury.

The Seahawks acquired Graham in an offseason trade with the New Orleans Saints, giving up center Max Unger and a first-round pick to receive the three-time Pro Bowl selection and a fourth-round selection.
